Chronicles Of Drunagor: Age of Darkness Speed Review!

[@wearecgs]

Thank you for the straightforward review. We are proud to present the much improved version in the Reprint and Apocalypse. For example the Darkness behavior, Monster AI, storage and even the all new books for Apocalpyse, reprint and update packs, will come in the spiral format. We are so excited for tomorrow!

[@TheKingofAverage]

Awesome!

[@callum5257]

Great news

[@r.l.jeffries1091]

There are rumors you're wanting to implement the awesome narrative improvements from Apocalypse into the Core experience? Kinda retrofitting the original story in the base game, is that true?

[@FeliPeltier]

Will I be able to purchase the original in spiral format as an original backer?

[@jcapo5]

I cant wait to get your game. It already looks spectacular. I've seen the updates you intend to implement. It seems like apocalypse has branching paths. I hope the updated core also gets that :)

For a speed review, this was by far one of the best I’ve watched. The pros and cons are perfect. We love this game but definitely would love better storage(map tiles, cards, tokens) and a streamlined darkness mechanic.

This is so much better than other review formats. The long ones just have too much considering most people watch the review to decide whether to buy so don’t want too much detail. This is great.

Ditto: I like this speed review. Straight to the point

[@cartoon80s90s]

While a lengthier review has its benefits, I don't always have 1+ hour to spend on a single video so I end up skipping segments. So overall, I liked a lot this style of review where you get what the game is about, strengths, and weaknesses in less than 20 minutes.

[@tullnfloyd]

I will add my opinion to this but with caution... I do really love this new format of a speed review. Great points, straight to the point, and excellent coverage of the main points of the game. I say that I give my opinion with caution, is because while I do love this speed review, I hope you will (maybe not all but still continue) to do your normal in depth reviews for the ones you feel needs a hour+ review/talking points and such. I enjoy both types and while I realize you cannot to both for every game, I would not like seeing one or the other go away... Just my two cents!

[@doctorl6817]

Great presentation and although this was a speed review it was thorough and detailed. I really liked it, not that your lengthier videos are not good (actually they are great), so if these shorter videos are easier for you to make you could keep it up but if the editing process takes you more time then keep the lengthier format!

Speed review - helpful format

[@MMoshaya19]

Love the format and actually kind of prefer this over normal ones. One thing that bothered me in this review was the lack of examples or like video descriptions of the points your making. I can see that there are a picture or two for eack point but it can be WAY better. For example: In the component complaints you could have given video with pictures to show how bad/good they are, how finicky, bad/good quality etc. TLDR: More video/picture examples of each point please :)

100% agreed and thank you for the feedback! My #1 goal for these is to improve and iterate on the visual side of things :)

[@Option1979]

[@TheKingofAverage]

Really glad to hear I was of help for you! :)

[@BelgarathTAO]

One thing you mention is you don't like the player trays, and then later you don't like the cubes sliding all over the place. That is the reason for the trays. My group has strongly preferred the format with the trays rather than the "Deluxe Edition" character cards. Easier to use and they grow with your character rather than looking at a bunch of unneeded info all at once. Also the bottom tray of the main box has a large section just to contain the door cards so I am not sure why you have those floating about loosely.

[@TheKingofAverage]

Ah yes I should have mentioned them. It's a tossup between using them and a slightly smaller table sprawl as they do still use the cards instead of the condensed layout of the other one. Dual layer boards would solve all of this of course :D

[@NeilY1000]

The biggest con is the price (especially when VAT and shipping enter the mix). Of course its down to the individual to say whether anything is worth the money. The payment plan is a great idea, but it still is a lot of money when all payments are made. I can afford it, and will therefore go through the same wrangle as I did for Wild Assent (Which I ended up not backing). WIll be interesting to see how Boardgameco assesses the value. Same for you king, you opinion would be great. If the game holds its value in the long term I will probably go for it, it does look great though ... but is it so great that I would drop something like £600 for it (all in). Going to be a tough call

[@ellyari]

Wild Assent was imo unfairly typecast by KoA and some other reviewers to Stormsunder. Its a rogue-lite battler with interesting level up/unlocking mechanics, with a few short campaigns (excluding lavon rising) for giving a bit of flavour and context to the world and characters. Lavon rising is an expensive campaign for people who want more use and a different use out of their collection of minis and enemies - its to keep the game fresh and not to substitute for Stormsunder. KOA spent like 3/4 of the video harping about how it isn't or isn't tanares and stormsunder (guess what - its not supposed to be ~_~.) I would absolutely recommend the VAT-free original all-in (whose first edition I have been enjoying for a while now) for 240USD and one wave shipping of 37USD for UK/EU core countries with no VAT. You get more minis and much greater mini variety than COD, with easy set up and disassembling, and much lower time requirements. Absolutely worth it if you are 1. prone to playing solo (its the best solo game of this type I've ever played - rolling solo said much the same,) 2. want a very versatile game, 3. don't need another dungeon crawler. Alternatively, if you're strapped for cash just get the core game its cheap and plentiful for the core hunt/rogue-like mode. The PVP is fun but thats about it, its nothing shocking. Could definitely be a way to introduce skirmish games to your group before pulling the trigger on some more complex or dedicated ones like mythic battles.

[@NeilY1000]

@@ellyari Good reply. Money is the comparator for me. Wild Assent looks great, but for the all in and the narrative elements i.e. Lavon Rising (which I'm generally up for) it felt a bit expensive. This feels even more expensive :) I can't avoid VAT so it has to factor also. The shipping is very vague as well, and the giant boss miniatures will rocket the shipping cost up as well (unless temptation is resisted and standees are fine). The other bugbear for me is something the creators can't do anything about ... It's the feeling I have that the world is not yet settled and may even get worse therefore more risk is being carried by companies producing 'mega' games. Looking at what is going on with Sandy Peterson games (Cthulu Wars etc.) I worry that delays and problems could fold creators of complex games. I hope I'm wrong, but £600 is a lot to gamble with. Hey maybe I'm just a bit over worried about nothing |:)

[@robertharvey5904]

@@ellyari Interesting. As someone tempted by both Wild Assent and CoD, I am still scratching my head over KoA's review of WA. WA seemed like a short campaign, random monster arena, rogue-like which makes it fairly unique. And I argue is much more intriguing than another super long campaign game (Storm Sunder). However, both CoD and WA are crazy pricy. CoD seems universally reviewed well with the main negatives as table devourer, finicky darkness, too easy, and lack of monster variety (types and variation in ranks of a type). The ease and variety seem like big things to gloss over. Still, I am very intrigued by the CoD systems.

[@ellyari]

​@@NeilY1000 I would recommend you go for Stormsunder, Aeon trespass odyssey, Oathsworn if there's a reasonable reprint or just message the producers I managed to snag a rejected pledge from them a month ago, tanares in that order then. Aeon is more KDM style, but the discovery and campaign phase is fantastic and having your minis which are greek mechs riding huge monster minis is a dope concept. The discovery and campaign phase seems incredibly interesting and the theme is very original. Its definitely my favourite one. They also seem very sure about their finances - in terms of number of minis its not a great deal but the gameplay looks fantastic if you like KDM and the 7th continent. Stormsunder I put up first for the reason that anything you buy in the wave 1 pm, is going to be free of VAT. So if you all-in now for 450USD you can get an insane amount of content for that price. I have been able to sell Wild Assent for a profit in Europe because we don't usually back games here so when people want them they're used to paying a premium. I safely feel like I can sell Stormsunder if I don't like it when I get it. Plus I think they made something like 2-3mil overall after the campaign which means its an insanely well funded game so it should be fine financially. Oathsworn looks really interesting, there may be pledges left to pick up like I did by messaging the devs directly on KS, core pledge is very affordable for what you get. Tanares is universally praised, its not too expensive but not too cheap and the economies of scale are significant.

[@ellyari]

​@@robertharvey5904 if you look at the scores, Wild Assent generally until the last 2-3 days of the campaign got really good reviews. Especially the first edition (top scores from quackalope and boardgameco vs mixed but hopeful reviews for the original COD.) The priciness complaint for Wild Assent is for the all-in + in comparison to Stormsunder. Stormsunder is the best priced board game of all time, even better imo if they deliver everything at current prices than the original KDM or KDM1.5 campaign. The cards, minis, tiles, pages, story is per $ insane. Wild Assent is actually also a great deal when you compare it to competitors as well but heavily overshadowed by stormsunder. IMO the core package on its own is decent replayability, but getting the core all in is enough for a LOT of sessions as the characters are interesting and there's enough variety for it to feel fresh even after 25 or so plays. And those were primarily solo plays for me. The short campaigns are fun, the rogue-lite is engaging and can entertain for a long time especially playing it with different people.

[@aaronlewicki8000]

Nice style on the review, good alternative to your regular style. Agree with lots of your points. The story isn’t captivating for my game group,but the mechanics are and that’s what we play for. My main beef is the “interactive” parts, which don’t really tie into the story and seem unnecessary and arbitrary. If a game is going to force choices on me, I want them to be meaningful and impactful, not “do you examine the statue’s head, left hand or right foot?”, with one result being randomly bad, another result randomly good, and another having no effect.

[@TheKingofAverage]

Yeah that's one thing they improved on a lot, as you aren't the only one to say this. In fact for the expansion there was only 1 POI that I could even talk about that didn't spoil story too much. Since they now often lock doors based on POI they do that because they are more part of the story so it ensures you get the whole story that way as you can't just skip them narratively.

[@3redrings]

Update 95 gives you links to show you how to store everything. (including the doors)

[@LuxurInk_Games]

although this is a really good quick review I must say I missed you in this ... your unique style of talking about a game I haven´t seen anybody doing such good in-depth review as you do, even with the one I don´t agree with you I would prefer you to do what you do best and that´s talking about your view of a game the way you did before imo if somebody is not able to watch a full 30 minutes review of an epic campaign game, they might better not try to play it then :p don´t get me wrong, both quick reviews are good - but not KoA great

[@TheKingofAverage]

hehe I hear you loud and clear and I appreciate the feedback! This was done to make it possible for me to do 2 reviews quickly - I could have NOT done this with my normal long form reviews. But certainly the first order of business is reigning back the speed a bit to allow for more....character :)

[@TheGrumpyMeeple]

I like this format! Can you talk more about your preferred way to integrate the expansions? I’m not clear on if you were thinking that you basically play through the core game, then the expansions and keep the enemies separated, or if you pile them together.

[@commandershepard9920]

I'm so torn between this and Arena Tanares (I don't own the core game of either, so I'm really shooting in the dark). I think you're saying this game does the RPG thing better than Arena; in your personal opinion, does it do gameplay better as well? Also, it seems to me (again can't say since I don't own either), that Arena is less fiddly/easier to table.

[@TheKingofAverage]

I've not played Tanares either. Based on Arena and what I know of Tanares though, Arena is more strategic, CoD is more fun. Arena provides a very good PvP mode where CoD provides one that no one plays. Arena is a tighter game, CoD is a more carefree game. CoD feels like a more traditional RPG whereas Arena feels more modern.

[@commandershepard9920]

@@TheKingofAverage This is a surprising insight, as I had assumed that CoD was more strategic (maybe because, to me, it looks like running a character and levelling up is more complicated in CoD?). But I guess more character complexity doesn't automatically = more strategic? Just subscribed. Its really nice to see reviews that aren't paid for. And thanks for your other example on Arena. We are leaning towards Arena, as the example you gave was really great and we can only (and hopefully) assume that Tanares will double down on that type of gameplay even more.

[@FeliPeltier]

Of all the games I’ve backed Chronicles of Drunagor was the one I went all in on a gamble that actually paid off big time. Creative Games blew me away. I wasn’t expecting much from this game but they delivered! Yes the game needs some tuning but in terms of dungeon crawling it puts FFG and CMON to shame. I can tell Creative Games actually tried.

Following

[@TheKingofAverage]

Stormsunder is better written and more strategic but more "choose your own adventure" than Drunagor which is more "tabletop role playing game". Stormsunder is a heavier game whereas my kids were able to play Drunagor with little direction. Both are fun :)

If you had to choose one game - would you prefer Druganor or Tanares ?

[@TheKingofAverage]

I would say Tanares, but I've not played it, only Arena so can't say 100%. Tanares has a better PvP mode and more strategic and rewarding gameplay, but Drunagor wins in fun factor since it's more than just a single die roll for combat (cube placement and skill options are nice). I would LOVE to do a cage match video between the two once I get my hands on Tanares as they are both super RPG focused I feel.

No game is going to be worth 3 others, all of which could be considered as good as it. Pricing is crazy... terrible back for us over here.

I unsubbed a while back to avoid what I perceived to be an increase in parasocial content but still find the reviews helpful. Just wanted to stop in and say that I enjoyed this format :)

[@TheKingofAverage]

Hey Wesley! Always happy to chat with ya! No idea what parasocial means, but glad that regardless of dislike for some content that you can enjoy and find others useful :)

[@TheKingofAverage]

Okay so I googled it and your comment makes waaaay more sense now, I appreciate the feedback Wesley :)

The first kickstarter did not quite get across how good the cube action system is. The other negative you failed to touch on is the lack of player references. There is a LOT of information packed into each of those action descriptions. And so there is way too much time spent with "What is the difference between Strike and Cleave?" type questions. The base rules set is actually surprisingly straightforward except for the giant glossary.

Thank you for the honest review. You have helped me to make the decision not to purchase the game. The number of various tokens and the simplistic enemy design plus scaling where two reasons for me. It makes progress of the heroes mandatory with no real purpose. And has no ground in logic. You are one of two channells that do not hype up games. Keep up the good work

I'm so glad I could help you make a good decision for you!

I liked the short format. Perfect for the drive home. I can’t buy anything because KoA has already led me to many big games.
